DCLA elementary seeks Box Tops funding

By Heidi Schneeberger Deer Creek-Lamont correspondent

School

When shopping online, consider going to boxtops4education.com, designate Deer Creek-Lamont Elementary School, and choose a store from the site’s list. By doing this, the school can gain cash for coupons from the stores to spend on books and other supplies. More than 50 stores recently have been added to the site’s list.

The elementary school still is collecting physical Box Tops for Education. Box Tops can be sent with a child to school, or taken to either school’s office.

DCLA once again is collecting food for Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma through Nov. 16. The food bank’s mission is to help the charitable community effectively feed people in need. To fulfill this mission, it distributes food to nearly 1,000 schools and charitable feeding programs in 53 central and western Oklahoma counties.

Most-needed non-perishable food donations include: Canned meats, meat-based soups, canned fruits, canned vegetables, peanut butter, canned beans and please, no homemade or glass items.

Donations can be made online at www.regionalfoodbank.org. Write the name of your school on the form. Checks need to be made out to Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma; write “SAH” and your school name on the memo line. Food collected at DCLA will stay in the community to be distributed at the local food pantry.
